INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the property known as Gateway Village, located in Chino Hills, California (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “financial statement”). The financial statement is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statement based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in note 2 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.
 
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GATEWAY VILLAGE
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010


1.Business and Organization
 
Gateway Village (the “Property”) is a shopping center located in Chino Hills, California.  The Property was owned by Grand Gateway I, LLC, Grand Gateway II, LLC and Grand Gateway III, LLC (collectively “Gateway Sellers”).  The Property, which has one anchor tenant, has an aggregate gross rentable area of approximately 97,000 square feet.  The anchor tenant occupies approximately 27,000 square feet.
 
On December 16, 2010, the Property was acquired by ROIC Gateway Holding I, LLC, ROIC Gateway Holding II, LLC and ROIC Gateway Holding III, LLC (collectively “Gateway Buyers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (the “Company”).
 
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (the “financial statement”) has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The financial statement includes the historical revenues and certain expenses of the Property, exclusive of rental income related to parcels not acquired by the Company, interest income, depreciation and amortization, rental income relating to the allocation of purchase price of the Property to above/below market leases and management and advisory fees, which may not be comparable to the corresponding amounts reflected in the future operations of the Property.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Property’s operations consist of rental income earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which generally provide for minimum rents and tenant reimbursements.  All leases are classified as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized by amortizing the aggregate lease payments on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease (including rent holidays). Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs are recognized as rental income in the period that the expenses are incurred.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Property’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Bad debts are recorded under the specific identification method, whereby uncollectible receivables are reserved for when identified.
 
Repairs and Maintenance
 
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while significant improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized.
 
3.Leases
 
 
F-3

 
The Property is subject to non-cancelable lease agreements, subject to various escalation clauses, with tenants for retail space. As of December 31, 2010, the future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases expiring in various years are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31
 
Amounts
 
       
2011
  $ 2,442,145  
2012
    2,395,282  
2013
    1,905,764  
2014
    1,008,684  
2015
    935,683  
Thereafter
    3,158,755  
    $ 11,846,313  
 
The tenant leases provide for annual rentals that include the tenants’ proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses. The Property’s tenant leases generally include tenant renewal options that can extend the lease terms.
 
Rental income on the financial statement includes the effect of amortizing the aggregate minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the entire terms of the leases, which amounted to a decrease of $77,600 in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2010.
